My invention relates to an improvement in cigarette compacts, the current term employed to designate combined cigarette cases and vanity boxes as made and sold for the use of women, the object being to produce an sists in a cigarette compact having certain details of construction and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described anc particularly recited in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 2 is an edge view thereof;

Fig. 3 is a View thereof on actual scale, shown as open;

Fig. 4 is a perspective view thereof, shown as open, with the mirror lifted into position for use;

Fig. 5 is an enlarged scale view in transverse section on the'line 5--5 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 6 is a detached perspective view of the l pivotal cigarette-retainer- In carrying out my invention as herein shown, I employ a struck-up Y sheetmeta1 compact-body 10 and a complementary struck-up sheet-metal compact-cover 11, the

said body and cover having straight sides and rounded ends, and their main portions or bodies being agreeably bulged or contoured to increase their capacity and enhance their appearance, as well as their feeling in the hand. It is designed that in making my improved cigarette compact the said body and cover shall be lacquered or enameled to match 4c miladys costume or features of it. The said body and cover are secured together by a hinge 12 of any approved construction, the body being furnished with a springfastener 13 of any approved construction engaging with a fastening-bar 14 produced by cutting 1929. seriai no. 356,067.

and striking up the cover at a corresponding point in the adjacent edge thereof.

The said compact-cover 11 is adapted in length and depth for the reception of a number of cigarettes 15 normally held in place by a transversely-arranged pivotal retainer 16 having a centrally-arranged finger-piece 17 and provided at its respective ends with corresponding arms 18 by means of which it is secured by pivots 19 to the inner faces of the sides of the cover.` The said retainer presses upon the cigarettes when in its nor.`

with the inner surfaces ofthe straight side,

Walls and rounded ends of the compact-body. The central portion of the said plate 20 is struck inward to produce a flat border 22 located in the plane of the compact and a recess or rabbet 23 for the reception of a mirror-unit consisting of a sheet-metal mirrorframe 24 carrying a mirror 25. The lower reach of the recess 23 provides a horizontal shoulder for the said mirror-unit to rest upon when the same is in its closed position. The lower edge of the mirror-frame 24 is secured by hinges 26 of any approved design to the upper reach of the flat border 22, these hinges being received when the compact is closed, within the upper end of the interior cigarettereceiving chamber formed by the compactcover 11. When in its closed position the back of the mirror-frame 24 lies in the plane (Fig. 5) of theiat border 22 of the mount` ing-plate. u
